FILM: SHHHINEMA FOR THE PEOPLE with Austin Beerworks
Tuesday October 28th at 7pm
Hyperreal Film Club: 301 Chicon St Suite A, Austin, TX 78702
There’s something wicked brewing in East Austin. Usually, Hyperreal Film Club tells you what you’re going to watch in advance, but for this Shhhhhinema screening, you’ve got to just trust. This will be a special screening of an appropriately scary movie fit for horror hounds and fun-lovers alike. To help the on-screen terror go down smoothly, Austin Beerworks will be on hand with plenty of their seasonal Oktoberfest, Montecore. Happy (early) Halloween!
This screening benefits Hyperreal Film Club. A 501c3 non-profit promoting “Cinema For the People” by supporting the development of a community screening space and clubhouse.

Yeah, heel-toe, docie-doe, come on, baby, let’s go, Boot Scootin’ Rollin’. Slip into your boots, tighten up the bolo and take a chance on a good time at the ’90s Country & Hot Dice tournament! ATX Beer Party is assembling a championship of high rollers in South Austin and everyone’s invited. Vacancy Brewing is providing plenty of dice and award winning beer and DJ GrossYall is providing a megamix of Shania Twain, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson and the whole gang for everyone’s Friends in Low Places.
The tourney will be raising funds for Pink Boots Society.

DESIGN: Creative Mash featuring OPA Design Studio

We’re taking over the second St. Elmo location to showcase how the building transformed from a former strip club to Carl Kölsch-purveying power house.
Speakers include Stephen Oliver ( OPA Design Studio Principal), Bryan Winslow (St. Elmo Brewing Founder and Owner) on a guided conversation about the behind the scenes details of bringing the space online.
St. Elmo will be releasing Mary Christmas Ale at the event.
The evening will feature a raffle with all proceeds benefitting Community First! Village, a development of Mobile Loaves & Fishes. https://mlf.org/community-first/

Austin has the best beer in the world and its community deserves to be celebrated. ATX Beer Party exists to amplify the hard work being done by Central Texas breweries with collaborative and charitable events. The group is three industry vets, uniting to make each event stamped with the ATX Beer Week something special and unique: Pam Catoe, owner of CraftBeerAustin.com, Jordan Golembeski from Austin Ale Trail, and John Gross, mover and shaker of GrossYall LLC. No boring “meet the brewer” nights. No “keep the pint glass” nights. Austin deserves better. ATX Beer Party pledges to offer experiences as unique as the beer it lauds, while raising funds for important local charities in the process.
